Engagement Rings from the Famous Hearts on Fire Brand Back in the day, you know, like 2005 before Facebook and Twitter, having an engagement party was more of a formal announcement of your engagement. There were banquets to book, chefs to schedule and invitations to order. It was a lot of work and a lot of expense. Today, not so much.

The Celebration

To celebrate an engagement you will need a place, food and drink. You might want to dress the place up as well. You want to make sure that when you show people your ring that it has a lovely backdrop, offsetting the beauty of that huge diamond.

The engagement has already been announced under the relationship tab of Facebook, photos of the ring have appeared all over Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and any other place the bride had an account. So now, it is merely the pre-party for the wedding, a celebration of your love for each other and sharing the excitement with friends and family.
